Excerpt from Practical Farm Drainage: Why, When, and How to Tile Drain
The following pages are presented to those who are interested in the subject of farm drainage. So short has been the time since the introduction of tile drainage in the prairie States, that farmers have scarcely taken time to acquire the requisite knowledge of the subject before they have begun actual operations. The drainage practice of the Eastern States must be adapted to western soil and surroundings. This requires time and close observation. The object of these few pages is to give, in a concise and plain manner, that which the farmer should know, if he contemplates drain ing his farm. It is not the intention of the author to say all there is to be said upon the subject, but to say enough to give the farmer an elementary knowledge of why, when, where and how to drain his farm. The practical methods described in these pages have been well tested, and are now in constant use by practical men. It is hoped that the language is sufficiently clear to be understood by all. C. G. Elliott.
